I thought it was going to be Malice not Nurgle 😱

Do a sly marbo video

i would love to see a video about if the doom guy could have a chance in the warhammer 40k universe, and whats your opinion

Bro my order just arrived and sweet jeebus you were not joking. These shirts feel amazing and fit amazing. I was sort of skeptical at first, but nah. These are super soft, stretchy and fit like a glove while also being kind around the stomach area. I now know where I am going to be buying my shirts from, from now on.

@@Zenphoshen thats awesome dude! im super glad you like them! as a chubby guy with a big chest I super appreciate the stretchyness of these things. I quite literally wear them everyday ( wearing one right now as i type this)

I'm annoyed it took that long.

That does feel slow for 40k, just like how slow the mincer was on turning Garret into rations.

Immediately starts at a boil and builds to broil.

Lol the first line nihga jumps in mincer

Yeah....a slow burn into normalizing certain plot lines and character types.

With the mention of "mincers," I'm thinking spam. But spam and instant eggs aren't too bad. 🚬😎

I thought all the food for the front lines were made into paste?

@@ieatpeopleand at least it aint corpse starch

​@@Reanimatedselfwell the author does use the word "sausage" at the very least, and while the nature of genetic modifications to the pig as well as the process itself probably makes the taste to be rather "off" it is still better than corpse starch.

Yeah am surprised that it isn't "long pork"

Dreams of garden in real life - desire to have peace and comfort Dreams of garden in WH40k - obviously Nurgle

Nurgle is diabetes?

​@@coreypatton6290I mean diabetes is a form of medical issue which is kind of umbrella covered by nergle

@@coreypatton6290 good, i eagerly await papa's embrace now that Elon Cisman has taken away my diabetes meds...

Me running out of insulin, Nurgle in my head: "Hellooo my sweet sugary son"

you really helped me get immersed in the story, you guys did a great job!

You did a great job bringing in the insanity to the whole thing, love all your work btw!!

Good job

you're voice is amazing.

You’re voice work is absolutely amazing, I always try and read some of the same passages you do!!!

Tbf the edgelord thing is something more akin to khorne or to sone extent even slaanesh but if we talk about sublte cosmic/eldritch/hellish horrors and living nightmares tzeench and epsecially nurgle fit this role perfectly

@@mattiaslime8926 I feel it has a lot more to do with the author than the Chaos god. Nurgle is done incredibly well here, but there are plenty of other instances where he's boiled down to vomit, puss, and shit grossness.

The interplay of faith and corruption is more interesting than a senseless blood bath. The way chaos is able to ensnare the Emperor's faithful like a serpent coiling around its pray showcases how dangerous the Archenemy is. These stories also give you a glimpse into the oppressive reality of life as an Imperial citizen, which I like.

If you want horror, try listening to Night lord's audio book where they are being chased by Dark Eldar. It 'll sure to give you a nightmare or two. Not only does the author makes the Dark Eldar scary and not edgy, he also makes sure to give you the experience of what it feels like to be scare of the dark.

I mean, yeah.. but the power of other materials was always in the "i know why this happened because i know lore" rather than showing everything

i mean, Nurgle IS pretty much the only chaos god i view as being a fairly decent person. he genuinely cares about his followers, for one.

Guy: "I want my daughter back." Slaanesh: I am not going to finish this joke because nothing I write could compare to whatever you, the reader, picture in your own mind.

@@xanmontes8715 That’s the joy of being the goddess of forbidden pleasures: Your subjects and enemies come up with it for you.

@@ginaran8921 I love the idea of a deity that is benevolent, but causes destruction because its alien concepts of reality confuse what helps and hurts.

@@stingerjohnny9951 consider the Great Old ones. Us humans are as Great Old ones to ants. Now picture an ant manages to pronounce your name. You'd try to figure out how or why an ant would do this. Then the ant begs for some sugar cubes. Or some water. Or hell, maybe the ant wants another ant to notice it. How hard is it for a human to give sugar to an ant? I have 3 kilos of sugar in my house but even a spoonfull would be the difference between life and death for an entire colony. How do you get an ant to pay attention to the other ant? Brute force it and kill all the ants until only those 2 are left. Then you go about your day. For those ants though... The world might as well have come to an end.

Fuck your right

By that logic we all know at least one nurgling that rarely crawls from his beard nest, and even more rarely still bothers to take a shower.

I've always seen it more as a 'Relief' of sensation. The opposite of Slaaneshi things essentially. Being given relief and not feeling the pains, expectations, etc. etc. Ennui at it's finest, liberating the mind.

“Untold dozens” When talking about the survivors of those after the story.

what about ,, grimdark,,

@@silent_stalker3687 that sounds pretty toldable

For The Emperor

That, and *"GRIMDARK"* or "Grim Darkness". x)

Christ their terrifying

At the Begging I thought it was either Nurgle or Slannesh

I knew it since the flys first showed up.

If you think about it, hive cities are a perfect breeding ground for Nurgle cults. The poor conditions make for low-hygiene, little-to-no healthcare, high density areas which already today make for an excellent breeding ground for plague and infection.

I assumed it was going to be Chaos as well, and I read this comment before the story finished, so I was looking out for signs. The flies, the focus on disease and illness, and the garden all definitely point to old Grandfather Nurgle.

Whoever named that guy deserves a medal for silly names of all time. 😆

Corvus Corax deserves it more... cuz Latin + Greek word for Raven... it's hilariously stupid. XD@@Turd_Rocket

@@kinagrill Oh - I Know! 😁 New to the Warhammer and I truly love this universe and all its over-the-top'ness. Still, some of the British humor taking the piss is just excellent, haha. Corvus; Latin "raven" Corax; Greek "raven" 🤣🤣 Sanguinius, Primarch of the... Blood Angels! Of course! Sanguine; Latin "blood" 😆 Ferrus Manus, Primarch of... the Iron Hands! Of course! Ferrus; Latin "iron" Manus; Latin "hand" 🤣🤣 Kharn the Betrayer... Kharn; Arabic "betrayer" (therefore literally "Betrayer the Betrayer" 🤣😄) I can't handle it! 😆 I just think Roboute Gulliman is somehow extra silly just because it seems intentionally designed to be difficult to pronounce. 😁

​@@Turd_Rocket Don't forget Angron - based, if I am not mistaken, on a bartender known by the original creators of Warhammer whose real name really resemble something like "Angry" - and the GOAT inquisitor Obi Wan Sherlock Clouseau. 😂

​@@Turd_RocketResolute Gorilla's name isn't hard to pronounce.

What other stories are like this?

@@keikei2942 it's less "like this" but i mean the vibe of stories when chaos is the villain There's a warhammer fantasy story where you know there's a chaos cult in the city but it's a while before the heroes find the cultists smuggling bright pink magical drugs into the city to spread around and i had the same gut feeling of "Ahhhh shit Slaanesh time here we go!!"

So you realize that a warhammer horror story whit PIG in the name have nurgle involved... wow dude, and im here thinking it was going to be about Tzeentch.

@@Berrusian123well I also didn‘t connect pigs with nurgle. It was only when the author started talking about the flys that I realized it‘s Nurgle.

Nurgle is someatimes more scary then the dark eldar

Well that backfired horribly

@@crossfire4691 happy little accident

This is what you get when you have Inquisitors, Astartes and all kind of dope organizations to fight your foes and root out corruption. But not a single OSHA and food safety strike force! OSHA space marines when?!

The Imperials already eat corpse-starch all the time anyway, so I am sure that the idea that the spam/sausages made with REAL MEAT that they get the privilege of eating contain human meat as well will not be something that bother most guardsman too much if at all.

Could also have become Khorne in that the blood is always flowing

@@praisethesun.praisedeussol6051 he prefers the corpse starch manufacturing facilities.

​

@@lvnxtic8137 You are revolting!

doesn’t seem so bad, gotta be better than a hive city

they see what it once was. what it could be again.

@@needs_more_dakka5774 The Garden was never beautifull it is what it always was and ever will be since the moment the Lord of decay became sentient together with the other two dark gods the blood god and the changer of ways. I don’t know why people always believe there is or ever was something positive about the Chaos Gods the „good“ traits they are supposed to represent like honour, resilience, knowledge, pleasure, beauty etc. are never like a sane person would interpret them but dark warped (pun intendet) versions of said characteristics. They only serve to get you in their ban before you realize it’s to late. They are purely entropic entities that in the end always bring ruin and breakdown and they don’t care for their worshippers for they are just pawns in their great Game.

@@EASY7356 i like to think that they weren't always what they are now. Chaos only was a thing after the war in heaven after all. It could very well be that during the time when the warp was more orderly, that nurgle khorn and tziench werent the perverted aspects they are now. That the garden was once beautiful.

@@EASY7356 It is difficult to tempt a tormented soul further if you show them the real deal, huh? I assumed that the beautiful depiction of the garden was meant to be the final push. Like, hey, here is a way out from all your suffering. All you have to do is join the Papa club!

Same lol. A pig that was full of life yet couldn't move, giant flies, an infection, a beautiful garden with a very kind old man in it, gardening, couldn't be anything else but grandpapi nurgle.

I first guessed Nurgle the reveal of a garden just confirmed it.

*soyjak image response*

Spoilers!!!!

@@zachharrell7776 then don't check the comments until the video is done.

You know under the emperor he lived in rot and lost the only thing he cared about becoming miserable….so the nurgle “infection” was honestly an improvement.

@@johnsonjj117 When people ask "why do so many join chaos?", send them this story.

I actually thought it was Slaanesh. Why? His growing obsession to protect the pig, his obsession with his daughter, of better things When I read the Garden, I actually thought it was Slaanesh's realm

@@RandomServitor ooh I can see it now, Slanneshi cultists screwing all the trees and plants

Improvement as sacrifice his lover

This story shows very clearly what Nurgle actually is.

I don't really have words to respond to this, I can't imagine what you've gone through... I'm really sorry for your loss

I lost my brother to a terminal illness. My father still has nightmares about the night my brother passed away. My mom is more stoic about it, but I know that she still thinks about him. I miss him terribly. Even after more than a decade. It is easier now than it was back then, but still. Were I there, I'd give you a hug, trite as it seems. You are not alone in this most terrible of grief.

I am sorry for you two. I Hope they rest in peace😢.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Everything in Warhammer is scary.

@@addison_v_ertisement1678 If everything is scary then nothing is scary. If everyone had super strength, no one has super strength.

You reek of the most foul heresy.

@@alexanderstark5192 purge me if you will corpse follower, but in the end i will be victorys as i watch your fillthy imperium crumble as i sit in the beautiful gardens of the plague father.

He killed his husband tho

@@praisethesun.praisedeussol6051 im pretty sure by the time the authers husband returned the auther could give less of a fuck about him which is really sad seeing someone you loved so much that you swore your life too only to feel nothing when you see them after a long time

The name also sounds like a riff on The Lord of the Flies.

The garden... The old man... Yep

weeeell, pigs are commonly believed to be filthy creatures, so i guess that's why they were picked. irl, pigs are surprisingly clean and use mud in the same way we use sunscreen. still, symbolically it works

Nurgle could have offered her to stay in his garden after the author left her to go back to the factory. The disease "rarely" became lethal. Nurgle could easily sway that.

Yet soo fitting for the setting

I mean, I wouldn't say surreal just fitting. Because 40k has always had horror elements and stories

@@mattiaslime8926 very true

@@JJJBunney001 I mean, incomprehensible forces beyond the realm of our understanding, is quite surreal, for it is bizarre which the human mind cannot understand

Wouldn't be a 40k story without the grim dark.

I leik u

Damn Skippy!

We need more story hour vids

Woo!!

I Goo’d.

Especially since you don't even know who the enemy is. The protagonist just hears stories (murmurs rather) about fallen Hive Cities and an approaching foe. Who's the enemy and are the Imperial forces holding? You don't know. The fog of war and propaganda are making it impossible to ascertain what the situation is. It's unnerving since you can see how things keep getting worse. It's literlly how a siege could play out in real life...

@@roaldruss4211 You can deduce I guess. They were going door to door so I assume to look for sources of infection or infected clear out

Oh man, 😢 I'm crying right now. That is so terrible. I love pigs.

@@LucyferSkyles they sounded female it was 25+ year ago and I still remember the noise

Poor pigs But it is what it is

@@Drikkerbadevand never stopped me eating bacon but the noise was fucking horrible when they woke up as their guts fell out, they were hanging by their feet too

Jesus Christ... That image alone is... Terrible, you remembering it, i do not envy you that memory and the poor pigs... Damn

Or is he The Hammer of Wes?

I'm just surprised that there are still pigs in 40k. I thought Grox was the lifestock of choice.

@@douglasbabb1725 I think it depends a lot on the region/planet, i dont think pigs are the primary source of food but there have to be certain regions where theyre more common

@@douglasbabb1725 I was surprised too. But then again, dogs and horses still exist in 40k, and if any food animal from earth would have survived, I guess it would probably be the one that you can keep in a pen rather than a field and which will eat anything.

There's a few more horror stories that mention and involve kids too. They're prime for horror it seems.

Children are mentioned and featured in the _Night Lords_ Omnibus by Aaron Dembski-Bowden, although you may probably wish that they weren't. Some Night Lords, like Lucoryphus of the Bleeding Eye, are quite fond of children. To that veteran Raptor, children have an especially delicate flavour, not unlike that of veal. The fact that they are also somewhat easier to catch than adults (as they tend to be slower, nowhere as good at hiding, and generally less well-armed) are also appealing qualities to the more depraved Night Lords.

@@Schwarzvogel1 Don't forget that Night Lords recruit deathrow inmates.

I'm more into the fact that that gay romance exist. Happy for LGQBT!

​@@thaqiftalip2771lol I get that people can be starved of certain things like representation but I honestly can't fathom how anyone can be cheering about how the a man throws his emaciated wounded husband to a slow visceral death while he melts into soup and think "Wow Gay Romance". What really got me is that adoptions were put on hold during the siege, to think the Imperium gives enough of a shit to not send children out beyond the likely heavily defended churches and cathedrals is nice.

What… You work like a citizen of the imperium 😳 I have two jobs, usually 60+ hours a week, but love what I do and find great purpose in my work. I hope you are finding fulfillment, brother.

​@Subbedhunter like a true hiver 😂. It's self inflicted though. I do enjoy my job , It's satisfying and I work for genuinely good people. I'm also building my own businesses on the side. With the intent of these side hustles becoming my full time job in the near future. But for the moment, I'm a full time employee in and a full time entrepreneur. I do take alot of pride in what I'm building.

What is your job

​@@Subbedhunterin my early to mid 20s i was the senior supervisor for a cleaning company where i was managing over 70 job sites and over 100 employees and i worked 2 shifts a day, my job was basically to drive around to various job sites to either check in on workers and ensure they were actually there and not just clocked in via phone and then went home (which happened a lot more than you would think), to preform surprise inspections to make sure they were doing the work properly and not wasting time/supplies or being intentionally slow to stretch out their hours, and also go to a site if an employee called and had some kind of problem with either their equipment or supply issue, but the biggest part of my job was covering for employees who either called in sick or quit without notice, and each shift i could expect at least 10 to 15 employees not showing up for one reason or another so i had to clean all those properties myself ranging from small homes to full factories where we were expected to clean the factory floor and the equipment. So my typical work week consisted of me working from 9 am to 7 pm, sleep for 3 hours then wake up and eat a pre-cooked meal, then work from 11 pm to 5 am, sleep another 3 hours and eat another pre-cooked meal and then rinse and repeat monday through saturday, then on sundays either i meal prepped for the coming week or sometimes my girlfriend would do it for me and allow me to sleep for most of the day. It was literal hell. It literally saps any and all will to live from you and you feel like a zombie. So these stories in 40k hearing about the crazy hours the citizens of hive cities work always hit with just that little bit of extra impact cause i am deeply familiar with how miserable it is working those types of hours doing a job you hate but need to survive and how if you let it, it will destroy your outlook on life even when you're doing it for the right reasons.

@Crusher888 I'm a chef. A personal trainer and I sell jewelry online.

Wait it was Nurgle? Huh, thought it was some other rando chaos daemon.

​​@@TheDeadlyBlueWolfI mean Grandfather/the garden/a disease that should have killed him but did/the pain comig from his deseased hands just disappearing /the flies certainly doesn't scream Nurgle

​@@bloodhunter07Also how long it took for the shelling to get to the hive, showing the slow and attrition style warfare of nurlging forces

but honestly If I had to be corrupted by an chaos god, it would have to be Nurgle. Everyone seems so happy all the time.

​@@johnsonjj117 For real man? Right after this story? Nurgle's blessing doesn't liberate your pain. You will be in so much pain that no pain seems to matter, lol. The best chaos god to worship is Khorn

Me too 😁

I like psychological horror

If it's not melting my mind then what's the point 😤

It isn't cosmic horror

@@jhtrq1465 It's Warhammer 40k and the story is obviously about the Forces of Chaos worming their way into our protagonist and it is, spoiler alert, obviously Nurgle, who is a Chaos God of Decay, who is also an eldritch god from an alternate warp of a reality. Of course it's cosmic horror.

As a Nurgle Stan, I agree with you 100%. Nurgle is willing to do terrible acts to improve his stance in the great game.

As another nurgle Stan I feel like it’s a matter of perspective he thinks he’s saving u from a healthy boring life 😂

Somehow I feel like the imperium was the true Villain in the Story

I love how Nurgle's "love" and "grandfatherly relationship" with his followers is just as toxic as his diseases are

​@@meisterhyperion207the Imperium didn't tell the writer to kill his husband did it

The garden was a dead giveaway.

Honour to be involved. Thanks so much

First saw your videos while cooking on Christmas, and as I watched you quote the plague wars, I was like, 'Wow this guy is amazing, he should absolutely be in something like Henry Cavil's 40k show or a Warhammer plus special'. and in this video, you have outdone your again great job!@@NaturallyRPVoiceover

Statistically, it's a job that's great for psychopaths (not a judgment either, surgeon is also a great career path for psychopaths). When you don't feel a large range of emotions... Welp ... You're just better suited to handle certain careers! Everyone has a place, I guess 😁

While I do eat meat and will forever do so due to how nutritious it is. The industrialized process of which these pigs are (sometimed) slaughtered can seem very undignifying. In most places they're killed or rendered braindead very quick and whatever happens after that who cares

Yeah I worked for a local council as part of a troubled families programme, basically helping to deal with cases of domestic violence, a whole lot of the cases were men who worked at a local slaughterhouse, it was like a factory churning out violent people.
